Eight players are randomly seated around a large table with 4 boosters each. Each player opens two boosters and takes out the region cards, setting them aside. Every player may then select one card from the 28 that remain in his or her stack. Once all players have taken a card from their respective stacks, they pass the remaining 27 cards to the players on their left. This process of selection and passing continues until all cards have been chosen. Once all cards on the table have been chosen, each player opens his or her remaining two boosters and repeats the selection process, this time passing to the right.
After the players finish constructing their decks from the drafted cards, they may include any outer regions and starbases from either their own collections or from the stack of drafted regions. It is important to note that players are not limited to using only the drafted regions. Organizers should also remind players that the usual restriction against more than four copies of a card in a deck does not apply to the draft format.
